Does anyone know how to render out really large single frame images in Maya 2010? I'm sure it's called something like Render Tile. This renders the frame into lots of segments which can be stuck back together in Photoshop. The image I need to render is about 2m x 2m at 300 dpi poster.
I have rendered images at 13000x13000px before with normal batch render, but I think the scene I'm working on now is going to cause issues as it's quite complicated with a large amount of polygons. I'm trying to render using Maya Software and raytracing.

I have seen a few people talking about using Mel script to achieve the render tile, but I just can't seem to get it to work. e.g.

only thing i can think of is your not telling it where to render to maybe with the -rd flag? In my case I just stuck a temp folder on my D drive and pointed the files there :) batted out the park first time

let me know how you go :thumbsup:

Hi anthonymcgrath,
Thank you for your reply. Do I run this in the script editor? When I did I got the following error:
